The Springfield Sports Hall of Fame honors and highlights the city’s finest athletes, historic high school teams and supporters who have helped make local sports programs a success. The 2014 class includes five inductees, a friend of sport and one team.

To be considered for the Hall, a nominee must be a native of Springfield and lived a large portion of his or her life here and played high school sports in the city. A one-room tribute to Hall members is open to the public on the first floor of Municipal Center West, Seventh and Monroe streets.

A new class of inductees is honored every spring.

This year’s 24th annual induction ceremony is Monday, March 24 at the Crowne Plaza. Tickets, priced at $40, can be reserved by calling Lesa Schaive at 529-0008.
